Medicines have benefits and some have risks. Always read labels and use as directed. If symptoms persist or you have side effects see your health professional.

Alprostadil (Alprostadil) is used to treat erectile dysfunction. The medication causes blood vessels to dilate (expand), thus improving blood flow to the penis. Alprostadil is the active ingredient in the well-known medication Caverject.

Because there are so many causes of erectile dysfunction, Alprostadil may not work in all situations; i.e. those in which the issue is not influenced by poor blood supply. However, the majority of erectile dysfunction cases are at least partially a result of insufficient blood flow, so Alprostadil is one of the more successful treatments available.

Likewise Alprostadil is often used as a diagnostic tool, to help determine the underlying cause of the dysfunction.

Alprostadil is available as both an injection and a penile suppository. The injectable form is considerably more effective, working successfully in over 80% of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, compared to a success rate of around 35% with the suppository.

The primary benefit of the suppository is its ease of use; simply insert the suppository into the tip of the penis.

Because of its greater success rate most men prefer to buy Alprostadil in injection form, though administration is a little more complicated:

In some cases Alprostadil will need to be prepared by mixing two solutions together; be sure to read all instructions included with the product carefully.

Clean and dry hands and penis.

Visually inspect the medication for cloudiness or discoloration; discard if discovered.

Inject the medication directly into the penis.

Apply pressure to the injection site for 2 to 5 minutes to prevent bruising.

Alternate injection sites with each use to prevent skin irritation.

Dispose of used needles immediately; reusing needles may lead to infection.

Do not use Alprostadil more than once every 24 hours or more than 3 times a week.

Both suppositories and injections begin working within 5 to 20 minutes and last around an hour.

There are a number of erectile dysfunction treatments similar to Alprostadil which rely on different active ingredients. If Alprostadil doesn't produce helpful results or starts to become less effective over time, speak with a doctor or pharmacist about potential alternative treatments.

Alprostadil is, obviously, for men. The product will have no effect on women and is not safe for use on boys prior to reaching sexual maturity.

Penile implants or physical abnormalities in penis may cause serious complications; discuss risks with a physician before you buy Alprostadil.

When used correctly Alprostadil rarely produces side effects; however, a small percentage of men do experience adverse reactions, which should be discussed with a physician before continuing use of the product:

Pain or aching in the penis, testicles or groin area

Rash, redness or other skin issues around injection sites

Sensation of burning at penis opening

Unusual headaches or back pain

Rapid heartbeat

Changes in vision

Prolonged erection (more than 4 hours)

Swelling or curving of the penis when erect

Swelling of veins in legs or groin area

Prolonged, painful erections are a particular risk for men with sickle cell anemia, leukemia, or multiple myeloma. Alternative treatments should be sought in these cases.
